Universal Studios Singapore

Pricey thrills

What we say:

Universal Studios has translated hits like Shrek and Jurassic Park - plus some less-than-classics like Water World - into rides for this theme park on Sentosa Island.

The majority of rides are fun, family-friendly merry-go-rounds and interactive shows, but if you want to be scared silly there's The Mummy indoor roller coaster which freefalls backward in pitch blackness and a sci-fi themed duelling roller coaster.

If you dread queuing in the tropical sun you can upgrade your ticket to an express pass for an additional S$48.
